Qasr Al Reem Dental & Medical Centre · Yas Tower, Suite 106
Root canal treatment saves a tooth that is badly infected or damaged. When the soft pulp inside the tooth becomes inflamed or infected, from deep decay, a crack or an injury, it can cause pain, sensitivity and swelling. The treatment removes the infection, cleans the inside of the tooth and seals it.
Modern root canal treatment is done under local anaesthetic and usually feels similar to having a filling. At Qasr Al Reem, our team includes Dr. Fathima Farhana, a Specialist Endodontist whose work focuses on saving natural teeth, including complex cases and re-treatments.
Root Canal Treatment can help with
- Strong or lingering toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn't go away
- Swelling or a small bump on the gum near a tooth
- A tooth that has darkened after an injury
- A previous root canal that needs re-treatment
Your treatment, step by step
Diagnosis
Your dentist examines the tooth and explains whether root canal treatment is the right option.
Cleaning
Under local anaesthetic, the infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
Sealing
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent new infection.
Restoration
The tooth is restored with a filling or crown so you can chew normally again.

Is root canal treatment painful?
It is done under local anaesthetic and usually feels similar to a filling. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.
Is it better than taking the tooth out?
Keeping your natural tooth is usually the best option. It keeps your bite working properly and stops neighbouring teeth from shifting.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Often, especially for back teeth. Your dentist will tell you which restoration your tooth needs.
